5G promises greater speed, higher capacity, and low latency to our essential high-tech smart connected devices. Intel wants to make the transition to 5G smooth and seamless and with this in mind has designed a powerful end-to-end 5G solution. The Intel XMM 8000 series is Intel's first family of commercial 5G multi-mode modems, operating in both sub-6GHz and millimetre wave global spectrum bands. Intel hopes to gather a mass of design wins for the XMM 8000 in PC, phones, and even vehicles.
Intel launched its XMM 8000 series 5G modems on 16 November 2017, following Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50 a month earlier[1]
XMM 8000 is Intel's first family of commercial 5G multi-mode modems, covering sub-6GHz and millimetre wave bands; Intel hopes for design wins in PCs, phones and vehicles[1]
The first product, XMM 8060, supports 5G non-standalone and standalone NR plus 2G, 3G (including CDMA) and 4G, and is expected in devices from mid-2019, ahead of wide-scale 5G deployment the following year[1]

The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
TechRadar's headline "5G will have 'fastest ever' global rollout" supports the same general claim, but the fetched page returned only navigation and membership content with no substantive article text, so this is only tangential support.
Axios's own headline, "5G will see a wide rollout in 2020," backs the pin's general claim of a 2020-era 5G rollout, though the article returned a 403 error and could not be retrieved to confirm specific details beyond the title.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.

Today’s production capacity is approximately 35 GWh worldwide. However, once Tesla’s Gigafactory and the other facilities being built by LG Chem, Foxconn, BYD, and Boston Power are complete, we will have a total capacity in 2020 of around 122 GWh. This exponential ramping up of production capabilities proves that companies are serious about scale and reducing costs.
